Kyrgyzstan/Uzbekistan: Governments Should Open Border
The Kyrgyz and Uzbek governments should open their borders to allow members of the ethnic Uzbek population in southern Kyrgyzstan to seek protection in Uzbekistan. So many terrified people said that if the border was open and if they could get help in Uzbekistan, they would seek protection there. But instead they are stuck in their neighborhoods, afraid of being arrested, and fearful of what awaits them at the border and beyond.
